We are having the Kenosha fire department send out a rig again this year to have their crew shave, during the event. What we are asking is that you pass this along to everyone you know, to get as much support as we can for CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH. If you can join us at the Brat Stop on the 8th to have your head shaved, or just want to hang out and watch, please do. If you cannot make it, but want to donate to the very worthy cause...you can go to the site and donate.

    Go to http://www.stbaldricks.org look for either the Brat Stop, or events in Kenosha WI.

    Thanks for your time. Check out the site. You may just know a shavee... Trust me, we all know someone with cancer. It is ten times more difficult to comprehend when it is a child. Help us fight for a cure.
